Prior to the pandemic, every individual in our organization had a dedicated workspace, whether it be a closed office or a cubicle. Throughout the pandemic, we asked everyone to come in and depersonalize—to pick up their personal effects.
Now we've opened hotelling workstations where you can register online, indicate that you are in the office and that you're assigned a workstation while you are there. It reflects the fact that we've hired so many people that we don't have enough workspaces for all of them if everyone wanted to come in every day. It encourages people to have the luxury of working from home, but recognizing the importance of coming in with their team to collaborate and work together.
That will be the future of our office, as we reduce our square footage and only have hotelling workspaces available for our employees to come together to collaborate.
